NODE was designed and created for Design by Nature, a juried exhibition of sustainable public art at Evergreen Brickworks in Toronto, whose vision is to inspire and enable action for greening of the world cities.

Each of the components consists of 6 decommissioned Oxygen tanks, which prior to being given second life as sculptures, were in service for over 75 years. Part of the welder’s tools the works were inspired by natural occurrences such as starbursts, sprouting seeds, thorns, burrs and tree branch nodes.
